Beloved—

Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own.  Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track.  Don’t assume that you know it all.  Run to God! Run from evil!  Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life!  Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best.  Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over.  But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline; don’t sulk under his loving correction.  It’s the child he loves that God corrects; a father’s delight is behind all this. Proverbs 3:5-12 MSG

I pray for you daily and that you and I will always give God our first and best.

Luv Ya!

Part of my daily Bible reading for the last six months of 2012 is to read through the Old Testament.  

The Lord our God is near to us whenever we call on him?  And what great nation has decrees and regulations as righteous and fair as this body of instructions that I am giving you today?  “But watch out! Be careful never to forget what you yourself have seen. Do not let these memories escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on to your children and grandchildren. Deuteronomy 4:7-9 (NLT)

As I read the above passage in  Deuteronomy, it made me see how much I have taken the Lord my God”s blessings’ for granted.  When I had children at home I constantly reminded them that the Lord loves us and enjoys our loving praise and worship.   Now that all of my children have homes and children of their own I have slacked off passing out the Good News!

The Israelites were told to always remember God’s laws even to write them on their doorposts.  So I am going to memorize God’s word and then ask God to show me where he wants me to share what I have learned.

I pray for you daily and that you will commit his word to memory so that you are prepared when the opportunity comes to share the Good News.

Luv Ya!

I know the power of praise and prayer is undeniable!  The solution to all my concerns comes in the knowledge that God Almighty is ALMIGHTY and my job is to trust in that knowledge.  The knowledge that the Lord willingly paid for my redemption also causes me to believe that he can be trusted with my cares.  

Yet, how many times have I spent hours and even days attempting to find the door in the very next blank wall I hit.  With the developed habit of praising him for who he is and daily prayer and reading his word most of my blank walls tend develop openings just as soon as I stop searching for solutions.  

Hint: be careful what you pray for; it is better to ask the Lord for his solution rather than a rubber stamp on your idea.  Believe me I know!

I pray daily for you, that you will trust the Lord with all your cares.

Luv Ya!

The power of praise and prayer is undeniable.  For the last two years (with health issues) I have experienced that power.   There were times when (in my discomfort) the only prayer I could manage was, “have your way with me, Lord.” and “thank you Jesus!”   The only way I am able to praise the Lord with prayer (in all circumstances) is by staying connected with him by reading his Word daily.   

I pray that, you too, can feel my peace of mind and heart by reading the Word daily and praying and praising the Lord God, your heavenly Father.  

Luv Ya!
